| Message | A tax on the poor. How disgusting. |

| Message | No, everydoby (poor or rich) will pay the tax ! Why should e.g. Bill Gates buy anything without tax, if he visit Beluzia ?!? |

| Message | Who's Bill Gates? There's no Bill Gates on this world. This supposed "Bill Gates", who I'm presuming is rich, would pay the luxury goods tax. The point is that it'll hit the poor disproportionately more, especially at a time when we are in budget surplus. It's not like the metropolitan liberal elites would ever understand! Beluzia will never forget or forgive! |

| Message | Well, he'll pay the luxury goods tax when he buys expensive things, as I'm presuming this character would. |

| Message | No sales tax is for everybody, just to support 10 % of poor people ?!? This has no sense ! Then is much cheaper and much more effective to give for those with very low income some subsidities ... |
